Make important text stand out while keeping the rest easy to read.
Revise each of the ten Round 1 layouts once, explain its reading-order issue, and compare one change in detail.
Start with the same ten Round 1 layouts from Make text easy to read and Make a poster from sketch to revision. Keep the originals untouched in your C27 Academy Figma file.
The order in which the design helps you notice information.
Compare the bold colored words with the smaller sentence. Size, contrast, and position suggest what to read first. Check that the important information receives that attention.
Slide 11.
A vertical group of text or content.
A large first letter at the start of a paragraph.
Slanted text used for a distinct style.
The thickness of the letter strokes.
For exampleCheck whether the paragraph is comfortable to read at its final size.
For exampleName the title, subhead, and paragraph before changing them.
For exampleTry a larger title in one copy, then compare it with the original.
One revision demonstrated. Start with one existing layout where the supporting sentence dominates. Reduce that sentence’s weight and increase the headline’s space. Compare both with the same full copy at the same size, then explain whether the intended first, second, and third reading points are more apparent. Apply this reasoning to all ten, not only the example.
